Title:
  Pulse connect VPN exists because unwanted avahi network starts

Status in avahi package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Pulse VPNs exists very often because avahi enforces network
  192.250.0.0/0 over tun0 interface.  The message error is:

  rmon.error Unauthorized new route to 169.254.0.0/0.0.0.0 has been
  added (conflicts with our route to 0.0.0.0), disconnecting
  (routemon.cpp:598)

  No matter the options to skip avahi on /etc/default/avahi-daemon, it
  always calls /etc/network/if-up.d/avahi-autoipd and raises this
  discovery network.

  A fix can be done patching /etc/network/if-up.d/avahi-autoipd to skip
  any tunnel interface.
